This winter has been extremely cold, and the coastal areas have froze.
The fourth master put down his pen, which means that Yelvbei will have difficulty sending people over this winter. That’s fine! A man who was once the prince of a country will not think of asking for help unless he tries it out on his own. Unless he is really desperate, he will not ask for help. This is not a situation.
Something that can be done in a hurry.
He asked Shi Jian to hold the guqin, "Let's go to the study."
In the study room, Tongtong was also there.
The two of them came here to try out the piano and invited an experienced violinist to see if the piano needed to be adjusted.
The old violinist's hand passed over the strings, and then he looked at the Fourth Master: "Does this piano belong to His Highness?"
yes!
After caressing it lovingly, the old piano master glanced at Tongtong and said, "The piano is a spiritual thing. Don't let others touch it easily."
Lin Yutong: "..." Don't ask me to tell you.
The Fourth Master just laughed and said, "It's okay, the piano is all about playing with your heart." After saying that, he took Tongtong and sat in front of the piano, "Try... playing what you are most familiar with."
There aren’t many that I’m familiar with, there are only so many songs!
When he raised his hand, the sound of the piano flowed through his fingertips, and it turned out to be a familiar yet unfamiliar tune.
Fourth Master narrowed his eyes. This piece seemed to have a lingering meaning. Have you ever played Tongtong? I don't think it's familiar.
But when she played it, she felt a little unfamiliar. This was probably because she hadn't played for a long time.
Tongtong's mind went blank, her fingertips were just playing with her feelings... After the song ended, her hands gently pressed on the strings, and then she looked at the Fourth Master unsure of what to do, "You...composed this song"
?”
The fourth master looked at the old luthier. He had something to say that he couldn't say in front of others. He had no choice but to nod, and then looked at the old luthier, "How?"
There are some merits in the music. It’s just that the fingering is a bit unfamiliar. “Your Majesty is right, the music comes from the heart, from the emotion...” Then he asked Tongtong to teach him, “Princess, this is how you should change the tone...”
Tongtong did it again.
wrong!
OK! Here we go again.
Still not right!
Then Fourth Master casually hooked him.
By the way, that's it, "Princess Princess should be more attentive and practice diligently."
Tongtong couldn't say anything: "...Sir, have you ever thought about it? It's not that I don't want to, I just can't."
The fourth master burst out laughing immediately and asked Tongtong to get up, and he sat over.
Fourth Master only listened to the same piece of music once, but the music he played casually made people feel different.
Tongtong sat on the edge, holding her chin with her hand, and became fascinated as she listened. She thought that if she let go of her emotions, she could find something back! But in the end, she just dozed off while listening.
He leaned to the side and fell asleep.
When she woke up, the sound of the piano was still playing. She leaned next to Fourth Master and fell asleep for a long time.
Fourth Master put away the music and asked, "Are you awake?"
Hmm! So practical!
Coming out of the piano room, snowflakes were flying outside. On the verandah, the eldest prince stood with his back, staring at the snowflakes in silence.
"Brother?" Tongtong tightened his cloak and walked over.
The eldest prince turned around and smiled at Tongtong.
"Why don't you go in? You've been standing outside for so long." Tongtong handed over the hand stove with fresh charcoal in his hand, "Keep it warm!"
The eldest prince didn't answer, "It's not cold, I didn't stand for long." After saying that, he looked at the fourth master, "I want to see my adopted brother and prepare to leave the palace. What about you? Do you want to go out together and have some drinks together tonight?"
That’s fine! It’s the same wherever you go.
So, she asked someone to tell the queen that she didn't even want a carriage, and just walked out of the palace on the snow in the wind and snow. Concubine Gao stood on the pavilion to enjoy the snow. On the Guanyun Pavilion, she could overlook the palace.
Beautiful view.
The majestic palace was covered with snow, and three tall figures walked side by side. It was windy and snowy, so children would not feel lonely if they had company. She said to the maid next to her, "My three children, each has a different temper. If there are three People are of one mind, so I feel relieved. Erlang is with the emperor, Xiaowu has gone to the weaving office, and where is Liulang? He has not returned to the palace yet."
"His Highness the Sixth Prince has invited Lu Qilang to go outside the city to enjoy the plum blossoms. He will not take a bath today. I am afraid he will be back soon."
Sigh! I don’t know why I always play with people like Lu Qilang. Her heart skipped a beat as she said, "Tell me, does Liu Lang know..."
Will it be anything?
Concubine Gao babbled several times, and then said hurriedly: "It's nothing, he's just such a free-for-all, not doing his job properly. If his father asks him, I'm afraid he won't be able to answer."
"His Highness the Sixth Highness manages the errands of the Ministry of Etiquette very well. His Majesty has praised him more than once."
What's so difficult about the job of the Ministry of Etiquette? Isn't it just to fool those old scholars? In other words, relying on their status, the elders just compromise on trivial matters.
As he spoke, the three figures disappeared.
Concubine Gao felt a little disinterested for a moment, "Go back to the palace, there's nothing to see!"
Who says there's nothing to see?
The Sixth Prince shouted to Tongtong on the carriage: "Did you see the yellow plum on the top of the carriage?"
Tongtong looked up, "Jun!"
Right? The sixth prince smiled and said: "I brought it for my mother, I can't give it to you." Then he urged the groom, "Hurry up, don't ask her to come and snatch it."
Lu Qi greeted him through the car window, Tongtong nodded in return, and then the two carriages passed by.
The sixth prince held two red plums in his hand and placed them carefully, "This is for the two noble mothers and concubines." After saying this, he smiled sheepishly at Lu Qi, "That's what happens at home!"
Lu Qi sighed inwardly. As he got closer, he found that the royal family was a little different.
The carriage stopped in front of the Lu family's house, and Lu Qi got off the carriage, "Thank you for the invitation, Your Highness, otherwise I would have missed the beautiful scenery this year."
"It's time to thank you for accompanying me." The sixth prince said, beckoning Lu Qijin to come over.
Lu Qi took two steps forward, and the Sixth Prince whispered to Lu Qi through the car window, "Collect more tribes from the northwest, and memorize the geographical and climate records... Don't you know the language of the tribes in the Western Regions? I'm afraid it's the beginning of spring. I have to go to the northwest. If you are interested, I recommend you to go."
Lu Qi was stunned and quickly thanked him.
The Sixth Prince then lowered the curtain and said to the groom, "Let's go!"
The attendant whispered: "Your Highness recommends Lu Qilang to go, why don't you try to go yourself?"
Talk too much!
The Sixth Prince glanced at the other party and then sighed, "What do you know? You can't have endless glory all your life..."
Your Highness?
The sixth prince lowered his eyelids and replied, "That's the fact! Your Highness, I am now the sixth prince, what will happen next? I will be the emperor's younger brother! I will be the emperor's uncle. I will be promoted in seniority, but what? The longer I live, the more uncomfortable I will be. . Just treat me as your royal highness... and be kind to me."
The attendant dared not speak any more.
After returning to the palace, the Sixth Prince went to the Qianyuan Palace with a big branch of plum blossoms: "Queen Mother - Queen Mother - look what did I bring you?"
Yeah! Such a big yew!
The Sixth Prince pointed to the big plum vase in the corner, "Just put it there?"
OK!
The queen responded and hurriedly came closer to take a look. Sure enough, the flowers were blooming beautifully and the fragrance was fragrant. She hurriedly called for the sixth prince to pour ginger tea, "Have a cup before leaving. I won't leave you to eat. Your mother and concubine must be waiting for you." Woolen cloth."
yes!
The sixth prince pointed outside, "I brought red plums to both my concubines. Concubine Xiao loves bright colors, and so does my concubine."
This kid looked unattractive, but he actually did things more carefully than others. The queen urged, "Drink it while it's hot, and go back to eat quickly."
The sixth prince drank it up and ran away. He sent someone to give Concubine Xiao one branch, and he took the other one back to his mother's palace.
Concubine Xiao looked at the red plums that were brought, asked someone to put them in the bottle, and said, "I don't like Erlang's recklessness at the right time, and I don't like Xiaowu's ugliness, but I love Liulang's character very much. Liulang is better than us."
Dalang is still a little worse, but he is much better than Wulang. Wulang is stubborn, boring, and unsociable, and he is far worse than Liulang from the Gao family."
Mammy said, "Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, is calm and unrivaled in comparison with other gentlemen. It's just that between mother and son, where do all the politeness come from? Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, has a clear distinction between love and hatred, and is more sincere."
Concubine Xiao smiled and said, "That's right! Honesty is also a benefit."
Mammy said, "Your Highness is sincere, and the Xiao family girl is considerate and understanding. This is not bad. I heard that Xiao Shizi met the Xiao family's maid at the palace gate, and the Xiao family girl asked the maid to send a pot of flowers to His Majesty the Fifth Highness. Then
The flowers are inconspicuous, but they are indeed in bloom. They say they were bought from merchants in the Western Regions and originally grew in the desert..."
Concubine Xiao looked at the snowflakes blowing wildly in the night wind, and the smile on her face faded a little, "I used to think that the Xiao family daughter was quite nice, but now she is so unreserved!"
This grandma didn't dare to speak anymore.
Concubine Xiao said, "I sent someone out of the palace to deliver something to Ming Cuishan... Didn't Fairy Lady say that she would send the girl from the Zheng family to the palace?"
No, "I heard that a girl from the Liu family has also been picked up."
Concubine Xiao snorted, "This must be the queen's idea. This girl is either a match for Saburo or the heir of the Han family. There are two queens in the Liu family, and there is also a status with different meanings like the queen mother... The descendants of her natal family
It is actually appropriate to ration Dalang."
"The marriage has been granted, empress! I can't say this anymore."
I know! Why don’t we talk about it ourselves?
But what he said, the fourth princess would know as soon as he turned around.
She raised her hand and threw away the pen she was practicing calligraphy with. She kept talking about something all day long. She looked down on Concubine Gao everywhere. Don't you know that if she was really like Concubine Gao, she should recite Amitabha herself?
Already.
The Sixth Prince thought to himself: Why don't you try something else?
He was almost nagging him to death at this moment, and he repeatedly said, "Where are you thinking... Not just Lu Qi, but also the Taoist priest from the Taoist temple, let's sit down and talk about Taoism!"
Bah! You are so embarrassed.
This entanglement didn't stop until the second prince came, and Concubine Gao stopped talking. Then she continued to talk to the second prince, "Look at your eldest brother, he has sworn brothers... and Chu Heng is building a bridge in the middle, and even Shiro is getting more and more involved with the eldest brother.
They got close to each other. You didn't see them. The three of them walked out side by side. It looked like a painting. Don't be an idiot. Just do whatever your father tells you to do. Make more friends.
...You have to learn this from Rokuro. You see, Rokuro, although he doesn’t make friends with important people and has no background to use, but after all, he looks at the bustle around him..."
The second prince finished the rice in his bowl and interrupted his mother and concubine, "My son has read a book today."
What book?
"Han Shu!"
Hanshu? What happened to Hanshu?
"Book of Han... Emperor Wu ordered Mrs. Gou Yi to be buried before his death. Do you know why?"
Why?
"Because the son is weak and the mother is strong, we are afraid that she will interfere in politics." The second prince stood up and bowed to Concubine Gao, "This dynasty does not taboo women participating in politics, but women who want to do politics must have the ability to do so! The Queen Mother once accompanied the Dowager |
When our ancestors conquered the world, my mother and queen accompanied my father on the battlefield, and their strategies were not inferior to those of men. If you really have this intention, why not tell your father that there happens to be a freeze disaster in the south, how about your mother and concubine going to relieve the disaster?"
Concubine Gao blinked and blinked again, and then she immediately looked at her sixth son with an aggrieved look, "Son, your brother bullied my mother and concubine."
The two brothers looked at each other, and the sixth prince secretly waved to the second brother: Leave quickly! Otherwise, you will continue to talk endlessly.
That’s right! Why don’t you keep talking about it forever?
Throughout the winter, I always said that having more brothers means more helpers, "You bastard, the sixth one, I can't help you... Erlang, my mother and concubine will not harm you!" He kept saying this until the New Year was over.
She ordered herself to follow her third uncle to the northwest, but she still kept nagging, "Son, find someone with similar interests... It's like having a right hand! You see, everything that is difficult for your father to do will be solved."
It's your second uncle and third uncle who are running it."
Erlang looked at his mother and concubine, "How about I go and become brothers with the descendants of the Lin family?"
Concubine Gao was rebuffed again! Looking at her son's back as he turned and walked away, she tugged on the handkerchief and said to the fifth princess, "You have to go and send it off. Tell your second brother more and tell him to be young."
Show off your ability, go and come back easy!"
Bah, bah, bah! What are you saying to people who are about to go out, "This trip will be smooth sailing."
Concubine Gao raised her hand and said, "Yes! It will definitely be smooth sailing."
Seeing that even her daughter had left, she hurried out and went up to Guanyunting Pavilion to look north.
At Guanyun Pavilion, Concubine Xiao had arrived early.
The saint is not here, and neither is the queen. Neither of them pays homage to the other.
Concubine Gao said to Concubine Xiao: "Your Majesty still prefers my sister. You see, when I went to the northwest, I asked the wife of the Zheng family to follow me. This is to support my daughter-in-law! I am afraid that the queen also loves this eldest daughter-in-law very much."
Concubine Xiao said in a cool tone, "If my sister doesn't want Erlang to go, all she has to do is report it to Queen Ming, saying that the second prince has no marriage partner yet and no wife to take care of him, so we might as well wait until next time! Isn't this good?"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Concubine Gao was left to roll her eyes at her background, and then let out a small 'poof'. But when Concubine Xiao suddenly turned her head, Concubine Gao quickly stood up, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Sister, go slowly, I won't see you off."
"
Concubine Xiao went down and cursed: You idiot!
After scolding, he became even more angry. Each of the children born to this idiot was more thoughtful than the last.
I am not a fool, but the children I give birth to are more solid-eyed than the others.
I'm really going to be pissed to death!
This time I went to the northwest and took Erlang with me. This is not a good sign.
What signal is not a signal?
The eldest prince was afraid that Concubine Xiao had another trance and had gone outside the city. He stood next to Liu Nande and said goodbye to her, but he also said one thing: "If the mother-in-law crosses the line again, I will have to trouble you. The mother-in-law always
We are concerned about the face of our brothers and sisters and cannot be restrained. Please excuse me once. Once we cross the line, we will take you to Mingcui Mountain to keep you company!"
No matter how you say it, your aunt is still the late emperor's empress. Even if she is the younger brother-in-law, her status is respected. Neither the emperor nor the empress can refute her words!
Liu Nande agreed, "Don't worry, I'll pick you up when you get back, and I'll talk to you in the mountains every day!"
Thank you!
Just after the eldest prince left, the second prince wandered over again and whispered: "Auntie, can you take my mother and concubine to the mountains? I'm afraid that she will take advantage of my absence in the capital to find the prince's concubine for me. Xiaowu is busy making arrangements.
Mukuro, Mukuro also has an errand... If she is not careful, she will get into trouble."
Liu Nande: "..." What kind of sons are these? Is there anyone who is so hard-pressed to take care of his own mother? Yes! One is to take care of him, and both of them are to take care of him. Let's take a walk on the mountain and watch the morning sun rise in the east and the dusk in the west.
Look at the sunset, from one side of the mountain to that side, back and forth every day. If they still have the strength to act like monsters, I will pay for the two of you to have such girls...
